Technology & product description:
COLORSVIT CB content Application
805-PT-22 22% PES yarn
805-PB-30 30% PES yarn
806-PA-25 25% PA6 yarn
805-PA-20 20% PA plastics
806-PP-20 20% PP yarn
806-PE-30 30% PE plastics
Nanodeal proposal (B)
Proposal description:
Masterbatch incorporating antimicrobial additive for mass modification of PP fibers.
Technology & product description:
Standard antimicrobial masterbatch COLORSVIT 9212-PP-30B incorporating 30% of inorganic additive with the surface treated by antimicrobial active silver particles.
Antimicrobial PP masterbatch is protected by the patent SK 286186 (Antimicrobial additive concentrate for doping of synthetic fibers and plastics).
Antimicrobial fibers are protected by the patent SK 286737 (Antimicrobial polypropylene fiber).
Both patents are in the ownership of VÚCHV, a.s.
Nanodeal proposal (C)
Proposal description:
Masterbatch incorporating nano-TiO2 for mass modification of PP fibers offering UV barrier properties.
Technology & product description:
Standard nano-TiO2 masterbatch COLORSVIT 8500-PP-20 incorporating 20% of nano-TiO2 additive offering UV barrier modification for PP fibers.
Nano-TiO2 PP masterbatch is protected by the patent SK 287999 (Polymeric nanopigmental dispersion and preparation method thereof) in the ownership of VÚCHV, a.s.
Product is fully characterized and available to the customers.
Nanodeal proposal (D)Proposal description:
R&D project proposal for multicomponent masterbatch incorporating nano-sized additives for combined halogen-free FR, UV barrier and UV stabilization modification of PP yarns & plastic products
Technology & product description:
Due to the missing state-of-the-art technology the project's area hasn't been patented yet and masterbatch producers currently don't offer multifunctional solutions.
VÚCHV's patents cover individual modifications, e.g.: SK 287999 (Polymeric nanopigmental dispersion and preparation method thereof), SK 286602 (Heath and light stable polypropylene fiber)
For the success of this R&D project and for the validation and implementation of research results, close technical co-operation with the producer of PP fibers and PP plastics will be required. (For the area of PP fibers we suggest Chemosvit Fibrochem, a.s.)
Estimated R&D time is 2 years with the expected budget of 400 kEUR.
